Salsa di noci


It was a long time ago since I wrote last time... sorry but I have been travelling a while with my job.
.
This recipe is one of the quickest pasta sauce I know... and one of my favorite, perfect for spring and summer. It is a COLD pasta sauce, typical from the region Liguria in North of Italy. Liguria is actually very famous for pesto but not many people outside Italy know about the other famous cold pasta sauce... walnuts sauce.
.
This sauce is very easy and it requires 500 g walnuts, 5 g pine nuts, 1/2 garlic clove, an old piece of bread, milk, fresh parsley, Grana Padano, extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. You just put all ingredients together in a blender and you will get a thick walnuts paste that you can save in the fridge for few days. At the moment you want to use it, add some water taken when you cook pasta and you will transform this paste into a perfect smooth sauce.
